Consider the two-period Neoclassical growth model seen in class. Suppose that income is measured in dollars. Let the utility function take the logarithmic form U(C)=In C. Suppose that Y, = $50,000, and Y2 = $30,000, and ß = 1 and R= 5%. B.1 What is the value of lifetime income in terms of dollars today? B.2 Compute the consumption in dollars for period 1 and period 2.

1. Consider the variables x. V. and z. Assume that the growth rates of these variables aire given by g(x) = 0.04, g(y) = 0.12 and g(z) = 0.008. Then the growth rate of the variable w = %3D (yx)3/4(z)1/4 is approximately equal to a. 16% b. -10% с. 12% d. 12.5%
Using quarterly data from 1947 to the present, graph residential fixed investment relative to GDP a. Compare the graph of residential investment relative to GDP to a graph of the civilian unemployment rate. What happens to residential investment during recessions? In this respect, is residential investment similar to or different from other types of investment? b. During the two decades after World War II, there was an upsurge in population growth and household formation known as the “baby boom.” The baby boom was followed by a “baby bust” during which population growth slowed. How are these demographic trends connected to the behavior of residential investment relative to GDP shown in your graph?

Say, in coming February, 2022 the Central Statistical Qrganisation comes out with its Income estimates, and according to the released numbers the growth in GDP over the year 2021 – 22 has been 8%. a) What are the possible practical problems in interpreting the 8% growth figure released in February? b) Under what circumstances can one say that the real incomes have gone up by 8%? c) Can one say that the standards of living in the last year have improved by 8%?

n year 2018, the government of Qatar spent is 143 billion Qatari Riyal (the national currency of Qatar). The GDP of Qatar in the same year is 1,121 billion Qatari Riyal. Qatar's desired consumption and desired investment during the year can be summarized by the following equations: Cd=1,000-5,000r Id=800-3000r Where Cd is the desired consumption in billions of Qatari Riyal, Id if the desired investment in billions of Qatari Riyal, and r is the real interest rate in decimal form. What is the equilibrium real interest rate r* in %? round to at least 2 decimal places

Explain how the current level of investment depends on the following factors: 1) the current level of national income; 2) the current level of the interest rate; 3) the expected net profits in future time periods; 4) the expected interest rates in future time periods; 5) the current level of profit.
Over many years, small differences in growth rates can have large effects on the level of income. This question will help you understand this important point. Consider an initial value of real GDP equal to Yo. If real GDP grows at a rate of g percent annually, after N years real GDP will equal Yo(1+g). Now consider the following table. Let the initial level of GDP in all cases be 100. a. By using the formula provided above, compute the level of real GDP in column 1 for each year. For example, in Year 1, real GDP will equal 100x (1.01)¹=101. For each year, compute the GDP. Complete the rest of the columns. (Round your responses to two decimal places.) b. In year 20, how much larger (in percentage terms) is real GDP in the 2.0-percent growth case compared with the 1.5-percent growth case? Real GDP in the 2.0-percent growth case is% larger. (Round your response to the nearest whole number.) c. In year 50, how much larger is real GDP in the 2.0-percent growth case compared to the…
